In a Patreon Q&A session[https://www.patreon. Alsocom/posts/rob-sheridan-ama-34278427], similar to [[Rob Sheridan]] was asked about the art for "Demon Seed"The Greater Goodand he explained that it was "the end of the journey of the red line that moved through the artwork of that record, trying to make sense of the rigid forms, there are lyrics provided that are not included sometimes fighting them, before finally overtaking them. It was Trent's idea to have the line take over 'Demon Seed' so completely/aggressively. It tied in to the album versionmeaning behind the music, these lyrics being section 3which isn't my place to discuss as TR tends to keep that stuff close to his chest."

This is the original album version. Very similar in structure to the preceding piece, "[[The Four Of Us Are Dying]]"," it begins with drum loops, building with layers of synthesized bass and guitar. Reznor's vocals are scattered and manipulated throughout the song, which transitions suddenly into a quieter, ambient bridge. Distant echoes of vocals, riffs, and drums from the first section are manipulated in brief, eventually leading into a final section with Reznor's count-in. Climaxing with the return of the drum loops and layers of distorted synthesizers, it soon strips layers away piece by piece, ending itself and the album suddenly following the repeated whispers of "There is a seed/Inside of me."
